I still have an abundance of green beans growing in my garden, so when I found this recipe in the June/July 2006 edition of Light & Tasty magazine I thought it was a great, fresh way to prepare green beans. I love green beans, but I've got to mix it up a…	1 vote 557 views
	The Meal Plan 8/29- 9/24 PLUS Some Questions About How to Use Some Garden Goodies... by Krista I had the meal plan all ready to post on schedule last night, then my mom showed up for a surprise visit with a bounty of vegetables that my grandma picked from her garden to send along. A vegetable care package! Cool!The most fascinating thing I found…	1 vote 530 views
	My New Favorite Pasta Salad by Krista A couple of weeks ago my husband's sister came to visit with her husband and our adorable 10-month-old niece. Of course, it is my nature to plan meals for company. On the night of their arrival, we planned for a low-key cookout. However, I wanted to provide some out-of-this-world side dishes to accompany the burgers and brats we…	1 vote 361 views
	Banana Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting by Krista Last week, after our neighbors invited us to their Saturday evening cookout, I immediately spied the very ripe bananas on our kitchen counter and texted back that I would bring dessert. I've been meaning to share my mom's banana layer cake (While I'm pretty sure that my mom didn't write this recipe, it's one of the cakes I remember…	1 vote 978 views
	Meal Plan and Grocery List 8/22- 8/28 by Krista I was all set to come up with a new, exciting meal plan for this week. However, after a busy Saturday of catching up on projects around the house topped off with a late night at a neighborhood cookout, we were up and running early this morning to make it to our city's annual Autism Walk. By the time that we returned home this…	1 vote 538 views
	Grandma's Cukes n' Onions PLUS a Yummy Cucumber-Pastrami Panini by Krista My grandma's marinated cucumbers and onions were a summer staple through my childhood. The recipe is so good that it has become a time-honored tradition. My family is still eating them today. A July trip home to the farm just wouldn't seem right if I…	1 vote 636 views
	Trial and Error Pan-Fried Zucchini by Krista Whatever shortcomings our first-year garden may have, it sure is producing a lot of zucchini! We've been enjoying zucchini in a number of dishes lately. But I had not yet prepared a favorite from my childhood, pan-fried zucchini...until today.When lunch-time rolled around today, I looked at my most recent zucchini harvest piled on the…	1 vote 258 views
	Getting Ready for Fall! Meal Plan and Grocery List 8/15- 8/21 by Krista I sat down tonight to plan our week of meals right after I typed up our September-December family calendar. I have to admit that I had a little bit of a panic attack while looking at all of the "stuff" we've got going on.This fall, for the first time…	1 vote 642 views
	Crock Pot Rosemary Roast by Krista Crock pot roast is a staple in the rotation of meals in my kitchen. I've got beef in freezer and it's easy to throw it into the crockpot and go about my day. I almost always do it the same way; onion soup mix, rosemary, potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion. You can check out my crock pot pot roast recipe HERE.A while back my youngest…	1 vote 794 views
	Grilled Vegetable Sandwiches by Krista If you're following the meal plan this week, you were probably expecting a rosemary pot roast to be featured as tonight's recipe. Unfortunately, I forgot to remove the roast from my freezer to thaw (don't you just hate it when that happens?!). So I bumped tomorrow's post about these wonderful Grilled Vegetable Sandwiches to tonight.…	1 vote 349 views
